Sweet. Need a soft schedule to get on an early roll. No way the Knicks (even with Amar'e) are a playoff team.

The Knicks have a better chance then the Raptors to make the playoffs and I think they can do it. Come to think of it they will probably inherit the Raptors record last season (40-42) while the Raptors will probably inherit the Knicks record last season (29-53).

Honestly with the way the Raptor squad is currently build, any opponant we are facing will either kick our ass or its tooth & nail fight to the finish, any schedule will not be soft but rather hard vs harder.

Turiaf will start at Center and Amare at PF from what I read. Currently NY only has 10 players under contract (who knows what's going on w/ knick center Eddie Curry) so they should add some more potential rotation players before trainning camp. As of now though its looks like this to me:

Hahaha, I highly doubt Randolph isn't starting. He will be far and away the best player on that team next year and for years to come. He is the PF Bargs has to worry about for a dark horse all star birth. The knicks have a great shot at making the playoffs, it really comes down to hard Amare tries. I see them hovering around .500 at worst, but for opening night in Toronto gives the raptors a shot for a fleeting moment to be an above.500 team.

I left Curry out because he won't play. What changes now for him to play?

Nothing as far as I know. I just don't think it will benefit NY to have him sit out like Marbury as he is an expiring contract that some team might take a 1 year chance on. Curry has messed up his career big time so far.

I actually think we can steal the first game against the Knicks. By about 4 points, ha. They are as bad a defensive team as we are. Amare and Bargnani both will have a chance to go for 35 on each other. The guards match up fairly even as well. It's gunna be close.

P.S. Boston vs. Miami for Christmas anyone? And hopefully Miami faces LA game 1. I wanna see Miami crumble from the get go.

They did it last season. I expect them to continue to handle him as they've done to date. He hasn't played since December 17th, 2009. He hasn't played regular minutes since 2008.
